ROBOTANK  I've been trying this app for a few days, and I'm impressed so far. I've been looking for a replacement for CopyPastePro after encountering a major stability issue with the latest version. PTHPasteboard Pro is the only other clipboard manager that offers comparable functionality, and indeed offers some nice options that CopyPaste doesn't, such as the ability to create multiple custom pasteboards that you can edit to store frequently used snippets of text. It's somewhat less visually appealing, but it's very functional and seems so far to be more stable.

Frankly, I think it's a little silly to complain about the price of PTH. The fact is that you get what you pay for. There are several clipboard managers available for around $15, and none of them offers the functionality that PTH does. If all you need is the functionality of one of these $15 dollar utilities, then by all means buy one of those. If the excellent but basic JumpCut provides all you need, then go with it. If, on the other hand, you need what PTH offers, then $24 isn't an obscene price. The only other clipboard utility that comes close to PTH, as I said before, is CopyPaste Pro, and it costs $30.  
(Version 4.5.2)

MACMEND.COM  A great app that I have liked for a number of years that has become over complicated and overpriced, yes over priced, all its shareware competition are around 15 dollars and if you want simple multi pastebaord as I do then there is a good choice including some freeware.

I will stop using it as I think 24 dollars is daft  
(Version 4.5.2)

FHAMPEL  I agree with the previous viewer, but I'd give the PTHPB 5 stars. I think that its "problem" is also its major virtue: there are so many configuration choices to set in preferences, it takes time to set up. And, the documentation about how some of the options about Window behavior fit together could be clearer. Other apps don't have as many options or features, and so are somewhat simpler to use. So this is an App for those of us who want a lot of control, and in this category, I think that it's the best.   
(Version 4.5.2)

ZEB B  I've used PTH Pasteboard for several years. I've tried most of the alternatives, including the free ones. PTH Pasteboard more than the others gets the right amount screen space, but not too much-it's configurable; shows enough of the clips to be useful, also configurable (and pops up more if you hover); and offers the most options for pasting. The Pro version was worth the investment to me: I wanted the ability to exclude sensitive information and some of the text-processing filters can be a time saver, compared to going to TextSoap. There are many options for configuring size, window appearance, and where the windows will open. On the negative side, with too many extra pasteboards, it's easy to forget which menubar symbol opens which. I find it easier to memorize the hotkeys.

All in all it's a solid product.   
(Version 4.5.2)

KKNOPP  Even with the extra features that most people don't use, this program isn't worth $25. I use to recommend the program to people when it was re-released. I believe it was donation-ware then. The next releases added many more features I didn't really use for a added price. This was fine by me because the features I did use were free. Well I guess the author wasn't making enough money off of it, so he added annoying red blinking text for those of us that were simply using the basic features. Basically punishing those that haven't bought it because it doesn't use the modern features. LOTS of complaints on here about said instance. And this is the first time I see the application listed on password lists. Now we have it going full circle and it costs $25 no matter what you use. No thanks. Obviously the author confuses his "customers" with people of low intelligence to fall for that bait and switch tactic.

I've since switched to ClipMenu. Not only does it have the features I need, PLUS SOME, it's completely free. Since it's open source, I don't see any bait and switching going on in the future. In case anyone thinks I am just shilling ClipMenu, or have any connection to them, you can see me raving about PTH in here earlier on before the author became greedy.

BTW making said observations is not "Bashing" software. This part of the web page isn't just for positive things. It's also to warn those before making a decision so that they can know all they need to. Everyone has their own brain and mind, they can read all of these and make up their own minds. No need to attack those that don't think like you.   
(Version 4.5.1)

LEE123  This clipboard program offers more sophisticated features than any of the free multiple clipboard managers mentioned below. There is text modification on the fly, programming features and many other features that people need. It is good to have such a program for those people and the price seems reasonable to me.

If all you are going to do is bash the software for no reason then don't bother to comment at all. It is immature and does not help anyone else.   
(Version 4.5.1)

KOSOVAR1  The JumpCut and ClipMenu utilities work great as alternatives to PTHPasteboard Pro, and unlike the latter, both are FREE! I just tested them and they are compatible with Snow Leopard and they are not bloatware, system resource-hogs.  
(Version 4.5.0)

KOSOVAR1  Good riddance PTHPasteboard Pro! You were fine as a free utility under 10.5 (I would have paid maybe $5 for the non-Pro version.) for the basic functions that was offered, but now you've changed the terms and apparently anyone with good sense and a modest pocketbook agrees $25 is a RIDICULOUS amount to charge for a utility that offers so little. So, as people switch to Snow Leopard, they will toss this like the bit of fluff it always was. And that will be that.  
(Version 4.5.0)

CHMORLEY  Wow. I have been a fan of this software for years--hacking it to work when it didn't, lamenting its disappearance when it went away, and excitedly welcoming its return when its developer promised to keep a free version.

Then I get a notification that an update is available. It updates me to the *paid* version of the app. That's sneaky. It's deceptive. It's bad business practice.

If the developer wants to discontinue the free version, so be it. But don't pull the sneaky update thing.

Frankly, the product is no better than ten others out there. My needs were minimal, so I liked the free version of this. I will certainly never purchase a product from this developer. Once you see someone is dishonest in their practices, the business relationship is soured.  
(Version 4.5.0)

KKNOPP  I also see that the author has played the bait game. At first offer a free version. Then offer a free version that has pro features that require you to pay if you want to use them, but the free stuff is still free. Next, offer a free version that has pro features that require you to pay if you want to use them, but the free stuff is still free, and add an annoying red text blinking off and on when used. Finally, make it so non of it is free anymore, and the "free" version will be incompatible with future versions of OS X.

Lame. this is what I, and many others had complained about when moving to PTH. I and others used to RAVE about how the basic features were free. Now there is nothing to rave about. It's just like any other pasteboard program. And it too will have a ton of serial numbers so that anyone that wants to use it can without paying for it. Back when it was free to use, but needed a code to use the Professional features you may have seen one number on the sites that was bogus. The author is going to find out that this type of practice wont serve him very well.

You should have made it a commercial product to begin with.

Off to find another clipboard program to use.   
(Version 4.5.0)

VITALY  it is true that 4.5 is too expensive for basic functions. but from 4.5's dialogs it appears that when the demo license expires, the program will revert to the free 4.5 version and keep working in this mode (lacking basically 2 advanced features, but retaining 10.6 compatibility). i wonder whether this is true...  
(Version 4.5.0)

MISTERSQUID  This is so odd. I'm running PTHPasteboard 4.4.1 on Snow Leopard and it works fine. What issues?  
(Version 4.5.0)

MIKEEVANGELIST  Deepest thanks to the developer for getting this out so quickly!

I really missed it since updating to Snow Leopard (even though it's only been 5 days.)

A great tool; rock solid and extremely handy.  
(Version 4.5.0)

PDXMPH  I hope anyone who gets word back from the developer posts it here. I sent a mail a few nights ago asking for some sort of status update and have yet to receive a response.

I paid for the pro version years ago. Nothing quite matches it in terms of flexibility and functionality. For now I'm using the (inferior) clipboard history feature in LaunchBar, but I really miss being able to pass clipboard items through scripts.

It still seems to work on Snow Leopard with the 32-bit kernel (my MacBook 4,1), but it's dead on my iMac running the 64-bit kernel. Probably time to start investigating the new roll-your-own services in Automator.  
(Version 4.4.1)

TOMECK  Yes, I noticed that too. It is very sad and even more disappointing because there was no advance warning at all (at least I haven't noticed one).

PTHPasteboard was one of my favourite apps. However, I can't understand how the developer treats his customers anymore - to cut off the website and to vanish into thin air... what should I say...   
(Version 4.4.1)

JAZZACE  PTHPasteboard (lite version) has been very useful these past few months, but I am glad I didn't buy the pro version. Their web site has been reduced to the notice:

PTHPasteboard is no longer available for sale because of Snow Leopard issues.

You can still download it here.

So it looks like the end is nigh.  
(Version 4.4.1)

FORMICA  It's now 6 days after my original post, and 45 days after the first request for support that I sent to this company, 35 days after the 2nd, 25 days after the 3rd, 15 days after the 4th, and 5 days after the 5th, and this crappy, useless bunch of scammers still has not replied even once. Their website gives no address, no phone number, indeed no way of contacting them at all except the utterly useless email address info@pth.com -- please feel free to send them SPAM, insulting emails, anything you wish. That email address again is info@pth.com, and they are useless. They do not write usable software, and they don't support the ulcerous excrement they sell. Again, they are useless. If they have the cojones to contact me via this forum I would be pleased to hear from them if for no other reason to confirm that they still exist, and therefore that they simply do not care about users of their herpes-ridden products as I suspect.  
(Version 4.4.1)

FORMICA  I have enjoyed using PTHPasteboard for over a year, and it's become a staple in my computing repertoire. But something weird is happening to that company (PTHconsulting). The app is starting to do funny things, and customer service doesn't seem to exist anymore. A couple of months ago my pasteboard suddenly started to dump all of my items for no apparent reason. It was not in response to updating any system components, like the OS 10.5.7 update or a QuickTime update, it just suddenly lost all my clipboard items for no reason. And every time I re-enter my items PTHPasteboard loses them again within a few days or weeks. So, I wrote an email to customer support, and then another, and then another -- each one automatically addressed in my own email client (Entourage) when I clicked the "Contact Us" link on their customer support webpage. But no response was forthcoming. So, tomorrow I'm going to call them, and after crapping on them for ignoring my emails, maybe I'll discover WTF went wrong with PTHPasteboard 4.4.1. But I doubt it. In case they're as dead as I think they are, I just installed Clipboard Evolved.  
(Version 4.4.1)

LEO SPILL  Best of the bunch - but the GUI is 10 years out of date.

Ask yourself if Apple would design anything even remotely similar to this ?

The one feature it desperately needs is the ability to view

and edit data within the application. Quickly and easily.

At the moment there is no way to view fully all the information captured.

( Without actually pasting it somewhere, editing and then having to re-paste it )

The 'custom filter window' would be a great place to do this for a start.

If there was an option for a pull out window to see and maybe even edit

your clipboard history - then this would be a truly rounded clipboard app.

For those of us PRO 'paid up' users - this should be a priority.

Considering the GUI and less than robust development of new features.

It is well worth a look - if you are in the market for a clipboard application.  
(Version 4.4.1)

ANONYMOUS  Tried them all, used to be an avid CopyPaste pro user until I tried PTH. MAN what a great application. Not only is it more stable than CopyPaste, but it has more features, and is FREE with those features. If you want to customize it even more, you have to pay. But even then it's STILL a better deal than the other PAY ONLY clipboard applications that have irrelevant windows and inane GUIs. No PTH doesn't have a fancy system resource taking up GUI, and I wouldn't want it to.   
(Version 4.4)

LARRYMCJ  Now that I've already purchased PTHPasteboard Pro, I have found a couple of things that would have stopped me from purchasing it, had I discovered them earlier. I still think it's one of the top three clipboard enhancers, but it will NOT:

1. Allow you to delete clips stored in any other pasteboard other than the main one. If it lets you add additional pasteboards, why sould it preclude you from managing the clips stored in them? I added a pasteboard named BOILEPLATES in which I could save things I have to use often, but it's useless if I can't edit these clips, which is only possible in the main pasteboard.

2. Along the additional pasteboard lines, you can only move clips from the main pasteboard into additional pasteboards...you can't move clips from a secondary pasteboard anywhere. Again...useless to have other pasteboard if you can't manage the clips in them. What is the purpose of even having the feature for additional pasteboards?

Thankfully, I only spent $17 on this due to the MUPromo, but I have to start trying out all the others again.  
(Version 4.4)

LARRYMCJ  I would have already purchased this except for two problems (for me anyway). You can't selectively delete clips...which is absurd. The lousiest of clipboard products do this. Next, it's way too easy to delete all your clips with the eraser button. Developer should have at least a tutorial when you push that..."Do you really want to delete all your clips?" Other than these two things...it's the most function (if not the ugliest) of apps in this genre.  
(Version 4.4)

BIGCLOITS  I’m an intense typist, and I have worked with tools like clipboard managers and other typing tools since the Apple IIe. To this day, my quest for a quality clipboard manager continues. PTHPasteboard is not the end of that quest, unfortunately. It’s a strong contender, but it falls well short of what I have known all along that I want.

After two weeks of regular use, it does at least seem fast and stable to me, and that ain’t nuthin’. Certainly it blows the doors off the snazzier-looking iClip in the speed department. It also has some impressive power-user features. It’s absolutely amazing to have my pasteboards synced across two machines, for instance.

But the GUI is a rough around the edges, which drives me nutters. It isn’t a deal-breaker, but I’m a Mac-user, and I want visual polish. There are practical implications, too: ugly UI elements are also often harder to understand, and there are certain parts of the UI that are as cryptic as a CLI. The developer really needs to hire someone who understands interfaces!

I sent the developer an easy question two weeks ago and never got an answer. Not a great sign.  
(Version 4.4)

SAMPLER  I have found this to be the only set-up that will toggle a pasteboard on (and off, of course), and when on, allow it it to remain visible like any other app window until you toggle it off.

1. In the Pasteboard tab of preferences, leave "Always Show" and "Keep on Top" *un*checked. (I have "show when activated" checked, but it doesn't seem to matter.)

2.In the Hot Key prefs tab, set the main shortcut (I use ctrl-cmd-m) to "Toggle Always Show".

  
(Version 4.4)

CHRISTOPHERO  Works good, but really ugly user interface.  
(Version 4.4)

JOSHP  I tried Jumpcut, iClip, and CopyPaste Pro, but this one is better than all of them. It needs an overhaul graphically, but it is the most functional of all the other copy-paste whatchamacallits I have played with.  
(Version 4.4)

DONKEYOTAY  Like the previous poster, I was hooked within minutes. I am a registered iClip user but this is SO much better.

As for the "Buy" icon, it is tiny but it does turn red!

And is, for me, in no way annoying.  
(Version 4.4)

MIGUEL  Within 5 minutes of use I was completely loving this utility. It blows iClip out of the water. Wow.

I particularly love the auto-hide feature which lets me have the clipboard on the side of the screen. So it gets shown when I hover with the mouse. It also hides automatically. The design is spot on.

Thank you PTH.

The only thing I dislike is the naming, PTHPasteboard is ugly and anti-Mac... Name it Pasteboard! That would be a better fit for this elegant product ;)  
(Version 4.4)

MUSUBANA  Thank you KKNOPP for the warning below.

I have always been a fan of PTHPasteboard, but now I will keep the old version until the developer has realized the sense of your message, and removed the nagware.

(I post this as an independent comment to give the anti-nagware lobbying some weight.)  
(Version 4.4)

TOMECK  I have tried different apps but this one is for office purposes definitely the best I could find. Simple, clean and easy to use and do not bother with a graphic overloaded GUI. The possibility to use customized filters is great. In combination with the customized keystrokes something I never will miss again. The filter makes any other app for "cleaning" text unnecessary. The app is stable an works smoothly.   
(Version 4.3.1)

MATHIAS RHEIN  I wish I could say that it didn't bother me...

So thanks, espiridon, for keeping spirits high ;-)...

it is somewhat sad that information is not taken as such but as some weird kind of warfare...   
(Version 4.3.1)

SJK  4.3 consistently crashes shortly after launching on my iMac G5. Anyone else using a PPC Mac having this problem?  
(Version 4.3)

SIMON AUGHTON  Simply the best clipboard enhancer I have seen. It has worked flawlessly for me for years, in Panther, Tiger and now Leopard.  
(Version 4.3)

YOXI  I've been using Pasteboard for 7 years in its various incarnations - very happy with it now in Tiger, I've ditched ShadowClipboard for the moment because copying a whole row from an Excel or NeoOffice spreadsheet causes it to go into infinite loop - Pasteboard can handle this, and is also more consistent in its plain text pasting. Nice.  
(Version 4.2.5)

ESPIRIDION  Yes, Quicksilver can work for PasteBoards. So can You Control (obviously ;) ), Butler, and many other programs.

But PTH Pasteboard has been more powerful, stable, and easy to use in my experience.

For example, I have multiple pasteboards, some frequently used text has assigned Hot Keys, and I can search quickly through hundreds of clippings in my main pasteboard. And all of this free of charge. For those who require filters and synching there's the Pro version.

I have licences for iClip and ShadowClipboard, and PTH Pasteboard is the one I have used everyday for about a year.  
(Version 4.2.5)

MATHIAS RHEIN  I don't know the software, but people searching for a basic cliptboard feature don't need more than Quicksilver has to offer- aside being a launcher, execution and search tool etcetcetc... ;-)  
(Version 4.2.5)

MAKAI  I find 20 items too limiting.

Currently, I use KoolClip with a user-defined limit of 100 items and always find what I'm looking for, but I am not sure whether it'll make it along when moving to Leopard.

Also, I use a 20-items-only clipboard recorder at work (where I have to use a PC) and at least once per week find myself looking at the hostory list and say "Oh, it's already gone..."  
(Version 4.2.4)

JENS24  I have Leopard and uses Spaces alot. Is there anyway to have PTHPastboard show up on all the Spaces? This would make it a cool feature!!  
(Version 4.2.3)

WALKI-TALKI.COM  I just noticed that the prefpane file lists 4.2.2 as the version, but checking the version through system preferences shows the version as 4.2.1. So, a variable seems not to have been updated.  
(Version 4.2.2)

WALKI-TALKI.COM  This piece of software is truly superb. The basic features that you get for free are fantastic, and the premium features are exactly the ones that you want to pay for. Well conceived and executed.  
(Version 4.2.2)

YOXI  Has anyone else had PTHPasteboard stop working once 10.4.9 update was installed?  
(Version 4.2)

RORO01  SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE

The same problems I mentioned regarding the previous versions are still present. They are:

1. If one has to use it in "always show window" mode - After completing the paste actions it is impossible to close either the Main or Custom windows by clicking on their red close buttons as they are disabled and their menu bar icons do not hide and then show the windows again. It would be helpful if both these options could be available to the user as when the window is needed for pasting the user would be able to click on the required window menu bar icon and after using it could just click on the red close button. Nobody expects the windows to be shown 24 hours a day.

2. It would be useful if it were possible to move items (rather than copy) from one Custom window to another, e.g., by using a hotkey whilst dragging the item.

3. If one wishes to change the order of items in a Custom window by dragging them, they are not moved but instead are copied to the target location.

The Pro version, which just enables more features, has the same problems so I can't even upgrade to that.  
(Version 4.1.2)

MACLOVER1.1  I still think CopyPaste is the king of clipboards and then of course if you run QuickSilver (everyone should at leat take a look at QS in my opinion).. there is also a simple clipboard memory accessible that way.. so.. er... well...  
(Version 4.1.2)

CURLYPAWS  I've used a number of other clipboard utilities, and generally after some period of initial novelty I find that I'm just not using them because they make it awkward to find the clips I want. Often they try to make up for this with flashy graphics, but the truth is that the cost is usability.

So I was very pleased to find PTHPasteboard. I've actually kept using it and found it an excellent program that keeps out of the way until I want to access it and then is really easy to pull up. It may not have the graphics "flash" of some, but it works very well indeed.

I went for the Pro version partly because I wanted to reward the developer for his efforts - and also because the filter functionality is very good.  
(Version 4.1.1)

RORO01  Firstly I would like to thank the developer for fixing 2 issues out of the 5 I mentioned below (version 4.0.5) - now only one window is activated at a time & the scroll bar doesn't jump up to the top.

The only main problem with the application, if one has to use it in "always show window" mode (like me) is:

After completing my paste actions it is impossible to close either the Main or Custom windows by clicking on their red close buttons as they are disabled and their menu bar icons do not hide and then show the windows again. It would be helpful if both these options could be available to the user as when the window is needed for pasting the user would be able to click on the required window menu bar icon and after using it could just click on the red close button.

Obviously the developer did not intend for the windows to be shown 24 hours a day :-)  
(Version 4.1.1)

PAULPTHCOM  Correct, not with this version. The fact that it was bringing up other windows when you used a HotKey was a big issue with a lot of people, so 4.1.1 was changed to address that.  
(Version 4.1.1)

DR. PELZ  The new release is now much better - but there are still some annoying things, e.g. I don't need additional information when selecting items in the little menu (this is really annoying because it slows down the behavior of your app). If you don't know what I mean - look at the app Jumpcut and examine its menu. It's similar to yours but without additional information. IMHO very simple and elegant.

BTW: Please add a new feature for clearing all entries when using the small menu. Everytime I have to delete every single item in the list. Very annoying if u ask me (Jumpcut has such a feature called "Clear all").

Why is the feature "Always show as plain text" not free? This is very important because sometimes it can be very confusing (formatted text in the small menu looks pretty stupid). This is a feature which should be definitely free.

Otherwise: It'S getting better and better - but it'S still not perfect. A sticky bezel window similat to that one of Jumpcut or PopCopy would be outstanding. Just as an additional feature (display options).  
(Version 4.1)

RORO01  NEEDS MORE WORK.

I'm running the application on my Intel iMac OS 10.4.8 and I am finding it very useful. I have, however, found some problems with it.

I usually have a few pastes to perform at the same time, so I cannot use the

"ordinary mode" because, obviously, each time I paste an item I would have to

go back to the relevant pasteboard icon in the menu bar and click on it again for the window to reappear. I also cannot use the application in "autoshow window" as I have other application autoshow drawers around my screen. Therefore, the best way for me to use PTHPasteboard is in "always show window" mode. Using the application this way, however, causes a few problems:

1. After completing my paste actions it is impossible to close either the Main

or Custom windows by clicking on their red close buttons as they are disabled and their menu bar icons do not hide and then show the windows again. It would be helpful if both these options could be available to the user as when the window is needed for pasting the user would be able to click on the required window menu bar icon and after using it could just click on the red close button.

2. I have my Main window set to display 20 items. If I wish to paste a few

consecutive items which are numbered higher than 20, the scroll bar jumps up to the top after each paste. This is a bit of a pain because I need to scroll

down each time to search for the next item after each paste. Incidentally,

this does not happen in the Custom windows.

3. It would be useful if it were possible to move items (rather than copy) from one Custom window to another, e.g., by using a hotkey whilst dragging the item.

4. If I wish to change the order of items in a Custom window by dragging them, they are not moved but instead are copied to the target location.

If I use the application in "ordinary mode" and click on any of the pasteboards menu bar icons, all the windows are toggled instead of just the window relevant to that particular icon.

If the developer would fix these problems, then this application would be just perfect.  
(Version 4.0.5)

AMBERV  Many thanks for the MacAppADay version! PTHPasteboard standard was already a favourite, but being able to sample the "pro" features has got me hooked. You'll be seeing an upgrade from me one of these days.  
(Version 4.0.5)

LONNIEHB  Great App! The developer is very responsive and helpful. Try this one out and you will quickly realize it's something you can't do without.  
(Version 4.0b3)

STEVE4656  bizarre behaviour in Tiger, not possible to delete all items from the Pasteboard, multiple copies of items end up in the Pasteboard window, seems to paste items at random, confusing preference pane; must be me as the consensus here is very positive  
(Version 4.0b3)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Works like a charm.

Forgive me if I've missed it, but is it possible to prevent anything else, but raw text being copied and pasted? (=no images, no formatted text, just raw text)?

One little cosmetic wish also: Make the menu bar icon close the window, if it's already opened. That way, it's easy to click once - if you just want to get a glimpse in the copy/paste history - and then you click the icon again, to close the window.

But way to go! It's a really nice application!  
(Version 4.0b3)

DAVEDIT  please backup your claims with reasons  
(Version 4.0b1)

DAVEDIT  I just tried running it again (after a restart) and it works fine now. I guess my computer was acting funny. Thanks for the great app.  
(Version 4.0b1)

DAVEDIT  Is there a way to toggle the pasteboard window to appear/disappear without having autoshow on? I have "Always show window" unchecked and "Autoshow window" disabled, but when I start the pasteboard, it sits there and will not close no matter what. Clicking on the menubar icon does nothing at all, nor does clicking on the close button on the pasteboard itself. Thanks in advance.  
(Version 4.0b1)

GAOSHAN  I was excited to see PTHPasteboard back but it doesn't seem to work well. Copies are simply not showing up in the window that appears when you call up the pasteboard (the one with the pink eraser icon). It remains empty and I cannot add anything to it.  
(Version 4.0b1)

MACMEND  can't get it to work in tiger  
(Version 3.2)

ANONYMOUS  this was a great standby that was broken i think by 10.3, but managed to run it w/ fewer features, though it was a bitch finding a copy on line after it was sold. now that I'm updating to tiger look forward to giving 3.2 a try. welcome back great little app.  
(Version 3.2)

RICHARD TAYTOR  I used PTHPasteboard before Panther and then settled on Butler (only for the multiple pasteboards; I use LaunchBar). I'm certainly happy to see that PTH is alive again, but I must mention that PTHPasteboard seems to have a small memory leak, and thus Butler (with other features turned off) has a smaller footprint on system resources.  
(Version 3.2)

GRADUS  Great to see this app show up again on MU .. I used and loved all of the PTH modules this guy made before he went to You Software - a company that tried (or is still trying) to sell these and a bunch of other, less useful menu applets with a new interface, a new name (You Control) and a surrealistic $70 price tag. They even required online activation, lol .. Are they still around? I'm too lazy to check. I usually don't wish anyone in this business bad luck, but I certainly wouldn't mind if this company went bankrupt.

PTHPasteboard was broken by Panther, and the compatibility fix is welcome. However, this app hasn't made any progress for almost two years, and other free programs like iSnip and Butler offer similar functionality and much more polished interfaces. Even in the freeware/donationware market, competion is fierce nowadays, and while I appreciate that the developer left this weird company and started working again on his own programs, I would like to have more compelling reasons than nostalgia to switch back to this pasteboard module. Anyway, welcome back!

ANONYMOUS  Wow... Nice to see this back!! It used to be one of my favorite app, but then it was sold to some other company or something like that so I switched to Butler... and I don't think I'll come back to PTH. Great app though...

ANONYMOUS  I searched high and low for this a while back. Links were led to some bloated NOT freeware. Apparently the developer had sold it. Some nice folk from a list sent me a copy eventually. It is good to see it back again, updated to 10.3 is a plus.

LEX LUTHOR  Very nice to see this update - but I thought Paul had gone over to the dark side ( You Software) and taken all his freeware/donationware products with him ?
